The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You navigate a surreal, first-person environment as a lab mouse, making choices that carry weight in a tense and mysterious psychological experiment.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle game's high-quality graphics and enjoy its tough brain-teasers, but they strongly warn about a plane section that tests patience with its controls rather than logic, leading some to quit. Reviews also note a steep initial learning curve for controls and a need for a brightness setting.
